A few scenes from the hills of East Austin looking towards downtown on a sunny Sunday morning.

Austin at Night
This photo was shot in misty conditions while crossing the First Street Bridge on my way from one SXSW event to another.

The University of Texas Tower IV
There was a light rain tonight, which provided a good opportunity for some photos. I was near campus again, so I decided to take a walk for a little exercise. Here you have all four corners of the University of Texas Tower as I did a 360 degree walk around it.
Zilker Kite Festival
The Zilker Kite Festival was weather challenged today. It was still fun to catch the kites, bubbles, people, dogs, and food trailers at Zilker Park. Let’s hope next year is sunny and a bit warmer.
The University of Texas Tower III
For some reason, on the way to the Museum this afternoon, I decided to crawl around in the damp grass and take photos of the University of Texas Tower. 🙂

Walnut Creek Hike and Bike Trail II
Ever since my first visit to a piece of the Walnut Creek Hike and Bike Trail, I had wanted to discover and explore the beginning portion of the trail in East Austin. It kicks off at Govalle Park, just off of Airport Blvd. This section of the trail is similar in that it is a paved two lane path with a center dividing line. It is popular with the bikers in Austin, and runs along the creek with a view of a set of railroad tracks and airplanes overhead flying into the Austin airport. It was a cool, dark, overcast day and my walk was very enjoyable.
Pecan Tree
The pecan tree is the Texas State Tree. It is most awesome at feeding all the birds, giving the squirrels something to bicker over, and providing us with tasty pies. In Texas, when we have finished riding our horses to check on our oil wells, we love to frolic about in our pecan orchards. 🙂
Bell
This bell grabbed my attention the other night when walking through downtown, and I thought that I would try to come back another day at sunset. It belongs to the Main Street Baptist Church in Georgetown. I’m not sure if it rings or not, and I think it has seen better days.
